We plan to be right on schedule for the new school year by clocking timepieces to suit every living space 

George Nelson & Associates Eye-clock, a modernist masterpiece, €380, under license to Vitra.

You know that moment. It’s a brisk September school morning, and you’re checking the time to the shaved minute. The rummage for phones is on. In many cases, our cult-like dependence on mobile technology, including simply telling the time, has stripped a traditional house clock out of the building.

The intricacy of movements (with the exception of something Swiss and expensive) doesn’t excite us as it did in the early days of horology. Still, the inclusion of clocks, bold old-school signals from the analogue age, provide beautiful, useful, highly personal inclusions.
